ManEdit was created due to a lack of editors for UNIX manual pages,
since users expect each UNIX program/configuration/api/etc to have a
manual page the lack of an editor and the high demand for what it
should create eventually lead to this (long overdue) application.
Although most resourced developers can create a source document using a
much more advanced editor and then export to multiple file formats, the
average UNIX contributor isn't up to that. Even the creators of this
application were intimidated at the UNIX manual page creation process.
So to make computers and life simpler, we created ManEdit, the Manual
Page Editor and Viewer. It features:
- XML Interface and Multiple Sectional Editing
- Instant preview feature and stand-alone viewer/browser
- Drag and Drop system and templates for easy mass production
